Grant Anderson RP | MIL
Brewers' Grant Anderson: Makes return from IL
The Brewers reinstated Anderson (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Right-hander Craig Yoho was optioned to Triple-A Nashville to clear a spot on the active roster and in the bullpen for Anderson, who spent the minimum amount of time on the shelf while recovering from right ankle tendinitis. The 28-year-old compiled a 2.87 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 66:27 K:BB in 62.2 innings with Milwaukee prior to landing on the IL and is likely to see most of his usage in middle relief.

Dane Dunning SP | SEA
Braves' Dane Dunning: Rejoins big-league bullpen
Atlanta recalled Dunning from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Atlanta's bullpen saw heavy use over the previous two days, so Dunning will join the big club to provide a fresh relief arm. He's allowed 13 runs over 17.1 innings covering 10 appearances in the majors between Texas and Atlanta in 2025.

Alec Bohm 3B | PHI
Phillies' Alec Bohm: Lands on IL with shoulder issue
The Phillies placed Bohm on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a cyst in his shoulder, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Otto Kemp was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move, and he'll immediately enter the lineup as Bohm's replacement at third base in Monday's series opener versus the Mets. Bohm had started in each of the Phillies' last five games and wasn't known to be nursing a shoulder issue, but he'll require an injection to drain the cyst and will be shut down for at least the next week and a half. The Phillies will be rolling out a new-look left side of the infield Monday, as Edmundo Sosa will draw the start at shortstop after Trea Turner (hamstring) was placed on the injured list along with Bohm. The 29-year-old will be eligible for activation Sept. 19, but a clearer target for his return likely won't emerge until he's cleared to resume baseball activities.

Hayden Harris RP | ATL
Braves' Hayden Harris: Demoted to minors
Atlanta optioned Harris to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Harris pitched each of the previous two days and allowed one runs over 2.2 innings covering three appearances during his brief time with the big club. Atlanta will replace him with a much-needed fresh bullpen arm in Dane Dunning, who was called up from Triple-A.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Phillies' Trea Turner: Lands on IL with hamstring strain
The Phillies placed Turner (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Monday.
Though Philadelphia haven't yet revealed the findings of the MRI that Turner underwent on his hamstring earlier Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post relays that the Phillies are optimistic that the star shortstop will be able to return for the playoffs, if not the tail end of the regular season. With that in mind, the right hamstring strain that Turner sustained in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins seems likely to keep him out for more than the minimum 10 days, making him a drop candidate in redraft leagues. With Turner on the shelf, Edmundo Sosa is slated to start at shortstop in Monday's game against the Mets and should serve as the primary option at the position for the duration of Turner's absence.

Sandy Leon C | ATL
Braves' Sandy Leon: Contract selected
Atlanta selected Leon's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
With Sean Murphy (hip) done for the season, Leon will serve as the backup catcher behind Drake Baldwin. Leon went hitless in two plate appearances during a brief stint with Atlanta earlier this season.

Sean Murphy C | ATL
Braves' Sean Murphy: Out for season with hip labral tear
Atlanta placed Murphy on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right hip labral tear.
Murphy will undergo surgery Thursday and will need about four months of rehab, which puts him on track to be back to full health for spring training, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Murphy said Monday that the hip injury is something that he's dealt with off and on for the last three years, but it had gotten worse lately to the point that an operation became the recommended course of action. With Murphy out for the season, Drake Baldwin and Marcell Ozuna could see even more playing time for Atlanta down the stretch, and Sandy Leon has been called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as Baldwin's top backup behind the plate.

Josue De Paula CF | LAD
Dodgers' Josue De Paula: Elevated to Double-A
The Dodgers promoted De Paula from High-A Great Lakes to Double-A Tulsa on Monday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
De Paula will be joined in Tulsa by one of the Dodgers' other top prospects in outfielder Zyhir Hope, who will also get bumped up from High-A. Over 426 plate appearances this season with Great Lakes, the 20-year-old De Paula slashed .263/.406/.421 with 12 home runs, 32 stolen bases, a 19 percent walk rate and a 20.2 percent strikeout rate.

Dodgers' Zyhir Hope: Advancing to Double-A
The Dodgers promoted Hope from High-A Great Lakes to Double-A Tulsa on Monday, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
Hope will be joined in Tulsa by one of the Dodgers' other top prospects in outfielder Josue De Paula, who will also get bumped up from High-A. Over 524 plate appearances this season with Great Lakes, the 20-year-old Hope slashed .264/.377/.428 with 13 home runs, 26 stolen bases, a 14.9 percent walk rate and a 26.5 percent strikeout rate.

Logan Henderson SP | MIL
Brewers' Logan Henderson: Playing catch again
The Brewers announced Wednesday that Henderson (elbow) has resumed playing catch out to 90 feet, MLB.com reports.
After being placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 8 due to a right flexor tendon strain before being shifted to the 60-day IL a few weeks later, Henderson won't be eligible to return before the end of the regular season. However, the Brewers are leaving the door open for Henderson to be activated at some point during the postseason, though a return would be contingent on him avoiding any setbacks during the ramp-up process. Even if his throwing program proceeds smoothly, Henderson likely won't be able to get stretched out enough to handle a starting role in October, so the Brewers would presumably have him prepare for a multi-inning relief gig.
